FBFF: DIY Manicure

Hello beauties. I know its been awhile since I last posted. SO SO SO sorry…I’ll get it together sooner or later. LOL These are the first shots I took with my new DSLR camera that I just got *happy dance*. I’ll chat with you all on that later!!! This is going to be a quick post to support Miss Rockwell over at Lifestyles of the Thrifty and Shameless. She is hosting the FBFF this week and its all about DIY Manicures. It’s supposed to be about all the unique stylish manicure designs, but I’m going to pull the “plain jane” today. I’m VERY plain when it comes to my nail polish. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE color but I’m not so much into designs. Who would have thought, huh? I’m also not one to be matchy matchy with hand and toe polish. Like now, I’m wearing this OPI, Its Totally Fort Worth on my hands and wearing a Too Hot Pink To Hold’ Em on my toe nails (not pictured). LOL I also don’t care too much about brand of polish. The only polish that lasts long is on my toes. I haven’t come across a polish yet that stays on my hands longer than 2 days….if you know of a polish, pleassssse let me know!

I love OPI! My fave colors are You Don’t Know Jacques, Black Cherry Chutney and Light My Sapphire. I will post my DIY later this weekend. But you are not alone, I too opt out of the nail designs, I prefer nude colors or a dark color on my fingers and toes.

I’m all about loud intense colors and glitter this summer. I tend to go more neutral in the fall / winter. I love seche vite top coat. I also started using orly’s binder as a base coat. I’ve been able to extend a bit further. I’m prone to chippage too. I really like the polish strips that are out now. The sally Hansen ones hold up really well.

You guys continue to inspire me to try self-manicures/polish. These are fantastic colors and may try again with OPI to see if I get a better result. BTW, the new flicks are so clear. I secretly jealous about that new cam of yours.
